THE SPECTATOR is a clone of The Witness, a 2016 puzzle game developed by Thekla Inc. The main features in this mod are Puzzles, which consist of STARTING POINTS, PATH BLOCKS, and END POINTS:
Our hero, the PLAYER, solves puzzles by walking on them. Stepping on the Start, traversing one or more Path blocks (and possibly End points), and eventually reaching and settling on an End point. The Path blocks beneath the Player will light up as they traverse the puzzle.
When the Player reaches an End point and they believe that the Path they have created solves the puzzle, they simply right click the End point to attempt to solve the puzzle. If the puzzle is solved correctly, the Path blocks stay lit and the End block emits redstone power. Otherwise all the Path blocks deactivate and the puzzle no longer responds to the Player until they re-step on a Start block.
Puzzles can be RESET by crafting a special item using redstone dust surrounding a piece of nether quartz. Right clicking with this RESET item on a Start block will deactivate the puzzle the Start block is attached to.
